based on a true story

When you set something up visually and it comes time to describe it, say what's unexpected.

Loud, thunderous bass-heavy rock music coming from the neighbor's apartment. Balding, middle-aged man is lying in bed, looks at his clock, which says 3:56. He throws off the covers, grunts, gets up heavily and goes to the window. Shouts, "Shut the fuck up, it's four a.m.!"

See, not funny. But watch this.

"Shut the fuck up, it's Wednesday!"

See! Funnier! And then, because, what does this bald guy do on his weekend nights?

That has filled me with both joy and envy. Mostly joy.
